Hi,

I guess there is a bug when inserting the 'Login Form' from Fields and Views. When I enter the home page address 'localhost/scivpro' in 'Redirect to this URL on success' I get an error message: 'Please enter a valid URL' . I am testing the website on XAMPP. What shall I enter in that field?

Hi, the following code fixes the problem (added in my_plugin.php):

function my_login_redirect( $redirect_to, $request, $user ) {
               return home_url('/my-account/');
   
}
add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 3 );

It would be good to know if what I described above is a bug or not.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - I think you close the ticket in hurry. I would like to update you that this is not a bug and the validation error you see is expected as the URL you entered is not correct URL. If you will add localhost.com it will work.

If you check arguments for the [wpv-login-form] shortcode - it clearly mentioned that redirect_url attribute will need "An absolute URL". A perfect domain name.

If redirect_url attribute is set, visitors will be redirected to the specified URL. The URL used must be an absolute URL within the same website or within the allowed redirect hosts.

For example:

[wpv-login-form redirect_url="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" allow_remember="true" remember_default="true"]
